help - do you class this as a mylot 'abuse' ?

Thanks for writing. I haven't taken anything personal at all....believe me....I am not a muslim. I have read the post about 50 times. I'm totally in for people expressing their opinions, but I am a firm believer that people should express opinions with sensitivity and not target a specific religion being the enemy.....such words do NOT hurt me.....but they will be offensive to many muslims on this site as it is racially discrimanting against a creed, and I was under the impression that racial discrimination is not 'on'... Anyway it seems that people from different parts of the world react differently to it. I actually enjoyed his post.....found it amusing.....except for those three words, which in my opinion do cross the line. Christians are the enemy or Jews are the enemy, or Muslims are the enemy...fuels racial tension and hatred, which we already have enough of.....just imagine any Muslim that read that, it's just another brick in the wall for them, just another reason for them to be prejudice against America etc I just want people of diverse cultures to get together for a chnage and sort out their differences in a mature and civil manner....because I believe that real power will come when the people of this world unite. There are many right wing, extreme fundamental forums, which would be ok to say such a thing, but I don't feel it's correct to say such a thing on a mature forum such as Mylot. I don't know perhaps I'm just from a different planet............sorrrryyyy Take care.

Hi there darling!..gigiles... No...I know you didn't say that I was a muslim.....bit of a crosswire there.....I just said that 'I wasn't one'....to clarify that I haven't taken it personally...lol Anyway, I really do appreciate you coming in on here, and I totally understand what you mean.....about religion and politics......it's always the same ....but you know I do know some people whom I can talk about these things to and there are many forums where people do talk about them.......from all types of backgrounds........it can be done.......??????.....lol.....anyway nice meeting you Princess!!! Hope to bump into you again.......Angelie

I never said you were Muslim. There is absolutely nothing wrong with Muslims. There are good and bad people in every country, race, color and religion. I don't like to judge anybody. Looks like this discussion is really bothering you, so I suggest you go back and give it a negative rating. I would not even dwell on this, it's not worth it, my friend. And I do agree with you not commenting on it because it may not do anybody any good. It will probably get worse because looks like he is very strong in what he is stating. I am still new at this site but I know just from my every day living that the 2 topics I never like to discuss is politics and religion. Even with friends. Everybody has their own believes and most of the time, no matter what you do or say, you can't change people. God can even change people and He left us to make our own choices in life. My Angelie, you have nothing to be sorry for and NO you are not from a different planet...LOL...now you are just being silly. :) Take care and happy mylotting! :) Olivia~

Yes it can be educational....haha..... thank you sooooooo much for taking the time. Angelie

Yes thank you for your advice, I will do that.....I think it was just categorising the Muslims as an enemy.........that many could be offended by.

Go to my profile, have a look for the discussion title I mentioned above, and have a good look please.

True say. Angelie

Yes where I come from (UK) that would be classed as Racial abuse.... Expressing one's opinions are great, but there should be a degree of sensitivity. What did you mean by 'the heads up'????? Angelie
